Labour Party Lawmakers as an Appendage to APC Majority Lawmakers: A Huge Question Mark on Peter Obi’s Leadership

Image
  The Labour Party (LP) made an unprecedented impact in the 2023 general elections, largely due to the influence of Mr Peter Obi and the Obidient movement. Before then, it was almost unthinkable for a third-force party to achieve significant electoral success in Nigeria.

But now, as he watched Chioma humming in the kitchen, moving gracefully like nothing was wrong, he knew Charles wasn’t lying. Her phone was always face-down. Late meetings. A new perfume. The soft smile she had when she texted someone she wouldn’t name. And then there was Ngozi—Chioma’s younger sister. She had moved in temporarily while job-hunting, according to Chioma. Young, v...

Chief Priest’s First-Ever Stage Performance: A Night of Emotions, Gratitude & Celebration in Owerri Owerri, the heart of Eastern Nigeria, witnessed a night of history, emotions, and gratitude as celebrity businessman and socialite, Cubana Chief Priest , took the stage for his first-ever live performance —and it happened on his own birthday. The event, which was packed with fans, celebrities, and well-wishers, was more than just a celebration of another year; it was a heartfelt tribute to his roots, his supporters, and a dear friend he lost. A Moment of Silence for Ifeanyi Ubah Before the music, before the cheers, before the energy hit the roof, Chief Priest paused the night with an emotional tribute. The entire venue fell silent as he led a minute of silence for his late friend, Ifeanyi Ubah . The bond they shared was well known, and this moment was a reflection of how much he still carried the weight of the loss. Owerri: The City of His Beginnings As the night moved forward,...
